And the Qi army on the opposite side was not idle at this time. Amid the roaring drums, the Qi army fleet quickly approached and rammed directly towards the Tang army naval warship.
With this collision, the advantages of the Qi army's navy were also reflected.
Whether it was a treasure ship or a building ship, they were larger than the Tang army in size. Under such an impact, many smaller ships were immediately overturned, and the soldiers screamed and fell into the river.
Chen Qingzhi, who was standing on the flagship, was completely unmoved.
The fishing net he set had already caught the fish, how could they let them escape at this juncture.
Chapter 874
From the beginning of the war, the fighting was almost one-sided. The soldiers of the Qi army were better than the Tang army in terms of quality and equipment.
Although Tang Jun is from the Jiangnan water town and is proficient in water skills, he has less time for integration and insufficient training.When they started fighting, their morale was low, and they almost collapsed at the touch of a finger.
In addition, all the warships of the Qi army tightly surrounded the warships of the Tang army, and the generals of the Qi army were condescending, and they used the bows and crossbows in their hands to constantly teach those ignorant enemy troops.
Li Jiancheng's soldiers in the Chinese army are his prince's garrison soldiers.These soldiers are the most elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, relying on these elite soldiers, Li Jiancheng barely withstood the Qi army's first round of attack.
When the Qi army's strong attack was blocked, they used bows and crossbows from all directions to teach the Tang army a lesson.
"Swish, swish, swish." Countless arrows shot down from the building, and countless Tang soldiers fell to the ground.
Water battles are originally about comparing the quality of warships, arrows and soldiers.
The Qi army's warships are unrivaled in the world, and no one can match them; as for the arrows, it seems that the Qi army has never worried about military supplies.Nowadays, the branches of the research institute in various places continue to manufacture various weapons, especially after His Majesty issued an attack order, and the materials for the battle were quickly transported to the front line. Chen Qingzhi can now be said to have a strong army, sufficient supplies, and a rich family. squander.
Facing the arrows of the Qi army, Tang Jun was completely suppressed and out of breath.All the soldiers are hiding under the deck, not daring to show their faces, let alone launch a counterattack.
Seeing this, Chen Qingzhi finally showed a smile on his dignified face, looked at the soldiers on the left and right, and said, "Boys, life and death are on the line. Now when will you get credit for the undead battle?"
Chen Qingzhi raised his arms and called out, his voice was as loud as thunder, amidst the roaring drums and the fighting between the soldiers on both sides, it was still clearly audible.
Although he is not a fierce general, he is a rare wise general.
Under the equal strength of the enemy and the enemy, the best way to completely destroy the enemy is to disintegrate the enemy's morale.
If the army has no morale, it will be destroyed in one battle.
"Fight to the death for His Majesty, fight to the death!" On the battleship of the Qi army, Wu Yunzhao Wu Tianxi and other generals shouted, carrying weapons, leading the soldiers, bloody knives, killing people step by step.
For a while, Qi Jun's morale was greatly boosted.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The soldiers of the Qi army all around shouted, and rushed into the Tang army's warship like a tide.
In an instant, the soldiers of the Tang army were killed.
Hiding in the cabin before, it was barely able to withstand the attack of the Qi army's arrows.
But at this moment, the Qi army boarded the ship and fought them head-on.Tang Jun, who had no heart to fight, had no determination to resist at this moment.Either fled in defeat, or dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
Li Jiancheng was dumbfounded seeing this.
Born more than [-] years ago, he has been fighting constantly, and the most tenacious soldiers he has ever seen are those led by Zhou Yu.
But now, they are equal in number to the Qi army. Although the warship bows and arrows are somewhat inferior, the gap is not that big.
But right now, this is not a well-matched posture, it is completely one-sided.
"Your Highness, we have already been defeated. We must find a way to break out immediately, otherwise the whole army may be wiped out." The deputy general was already in a hurry.
Who would have thought that the Qi army would be so vicious.After a round of attacks, they had absolutely no room to parry.If the Qi army's 60 soldiers are at this level, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is within easy reach.
"Yes, yes, you are right to keep the green hills alive without worrying about firewood! Withdraw, immediately retreat." Li Jiancheng hurriedly sent an order.
As the commander-in-chief, Li Jiancheng had already retreated, and the others naturally had no fighting spirit and were defeated one after another. For a while, the entire river was full of defeated soldiers of the Tang army.
Seeing that Li Jiancheng was about to break out, Chen Qingzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyes were full of fierceness.
No one expected that the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty would bump himself into the gun and seek death.
But at this moment, it is not the time to kill Li Jiancheng.If he can capture the opponent alive, it will definitely be a great achievement.
"The whole army presses up and kills them. We must capture Tang Prince Li Jiancheng alive." Chen Qingzhi roared, drew his sword from his waist, and pointed at Li Jiancheng's flagship.
The surrounding generals agreed loudly, and quickly surrounded Li Jiancheng's warship.
The navy warships of the Qi army that had circled behind the Tang army also swarmed in, directly blocking the Tang army's escaped warships on the river.
If it is an ordinary object, it is extremely easy to turn around.
But this warship is huge, especially the giant warships such as the building and treasure ships, and it takes a lot of effort to turn around.
Most of Tang's warships were trapped in the Qi army's encirclement, only some smaller escort warships on the side still had room to escape at this moment.
In order to escape for his life, Li Jiancheng didn't care so much. He led his garrison and abandoned the army and fled quickly.After hiding in Tibet, they finally came to a small boat. While Qi Jun and Tang Jun were still anxious, they withdrew from the battle and went down the river to escape from the battlefield.
The escape of the commander-in-chief was simply a disaster for the remaining soldiers of the Tang army.
Before Chen Qing could issue an order to attack, these soldiers of the Tang army had thrown away their weapons and crouched on the ground regretfully.
"Governor, Li Jiancheng has escaped!" Wu Yunzhao, who had been fighting for a long time, finally got the news from the soldiers and ran to Chen Qingzhi to report without waiting.
Chen Qingzhi looked at the waves on the river, sighed remorsefully and said, "With such wind and waves, going down the current, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to catch up if we want to. Forget it, we have already won a big victory in this battle. The south of Xiakou The Tang Navy was basically annihilated, and our army was close to crossing the river and fighting."
Wu Yunzhao and other generals were also ecstatic.
Since the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Cao Anmin asked Chen Qingzhi to train sailors in Xiangyang.
The Qi State and the Southern Tang Dynasty ruled by the river, and the bordering water area is extremely large.Many places are suitable landing points to attack.
But Cao Anmin thought it over and decided on two places.
One is Xiangyang, where Cao Cao chose the decisive battle in history, and also the base camp of the Jingxiang Navy of the Qi Army.The other one is Jingkou, which is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
However, Jingkou is too close to Jiankang, and the enemy is heavily guarded, making it extremely difficult to conquer.
After three years of training, generals like Wu Yunzhao, who never knew water skills, have basically become naval warriors.
It was the first time to officially lead the navy to fight, but he did not expect to achieve such a huge victory.
"Order all the ministries to clean up the battlefield immediately, collect the soldiers, bring all the captured naval warships back to the port, and send a document to Pengcheng immediately, please Your Majesty's order!"
Wu Tianxi was a little puzzled, and asked instead: "Governor, now is the best time for us to take down Xiakou in one fell swoop. Why don't we just cross the river directly instead of delaying time? If the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we will have to take the city if we want to." It's not easy!"
Chen Qingzhi smiled lightly and said, "Who said I won't take it? Two generals, you will immediately lead your troops to attack the Tang army on the opposite bank tonight. Be sure to occupy Xiakou for me and clear the landing point for my army."
